Converge Dance Festival has a mission to support Pacific Northwest dance artists by producing this annual festival which serves as a resource for emerging to mid-career artists. The festival has a focus on innovation, building community, collaboration and creating space for artists to grow their ideas and take risks in their creative work.

Dance is a powerful art form that allows us to grow in empathy and awareness. Dance is a unifying force that facilitates dialogue, offering us the experience of connecting to our humanity where we can unify in causes, share beliefs and experiences, and challenge individual and societal patterns of thinking. It is important to build supportive communities and safe spaces where people can exchange these ideas and perspectives. To be seen and witnessed. We hope to share meaningful work with our community and continue to create space for connection and dialogue.

This year's festival will fully produce six Washington-based dance artists, and will provide a professional performing opportunity for over 30 local, Seattle artists.

The 2019 Converge Dance Festival will be run from May 17-18, 2019 at Velocity Dance Center. Save the date and be sure to check our website, follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates!
